Racksaver (racksaver.com) do these. I have experience of these nodes (6
800MHz Pentium III's per 1U box). Yes they are hotter than a 4P1U system
(unsurprsingly) but I have experienced no problems with heating issues
(and this is a 128 processor system in an enclosed rack). Each 1U box does
not seem to pump out much more heat than a 2U API UP2000 box (although
this is purely qualitative).
